Hmmm . . . wonder why do keep doing things you don't want to be doing? It's because you're better friends with the world than you are with the Lord. The world breeds quarrels, conflicts, lust, murder, envy, etc. The Spirit brings love, patience, kindness, goodness, self-control. So who are you spending time with? You've heard the old saying, "You are what you eat." Well, James is reminding us, "You are who you hang out with." So, start hanging out with the Lord! As you draw closer to God, He will draw closer to you & it will become easier to be the kind of person you want to be.
Along with this renewed relationship with the Lord, comes renewed relationships with others. Stop judging everyone else. That's God's job. We also need to realize that God is in control, not us. So, ask Him what's going on & follow His lead.
